If I hide something, does it still go out in the email?
Everything from the moment you press Hide or Delete is handled. What it can't do is unsend an email that has already gone.

Read the last line of the confirm
Every hide and delete confirm ends the same way: anyone already emailed has seen it. That is the one thing moderation can't take back.

The confirm says it before you press, not after.

Can I approve new members before they get into my community?
Yes. Switch on approval and anyone who asks to join waits in a Requests list in Members until you let them in, the way a private LinkedIn or Facebook group works. People you invite, and people who pay, still go straight in. About five minutes to set up.
Can I change a member's post before I approve it?
No. A post waiting for your approval can only be approved or rejected, so you cannot change a member's words. If a few words need changing, approve it and add a comment, or message the member and reject it.
Can I check comments before they go up?
Turn on comment approval and every member comment waits for you. It's a separate switch from the one for posts.
